Good news, pcad. Dr have any idea about the symptoms you were feeling?

A couple of years ago I figured I needed 10 or 11 different bikes. Now I need to add one more, after seeing this Fat Bent!

I killed my phone with sweat along the way. Revived it with some sun, then resumed. I was shooting for a metric but the whole phone killing thing threw me off my rhythm.

I'm so glad I got a weird feeling when I was heading south, while I was supposed to be trending east, otherwise I never woulda known about the sweaty phone.

Put the phone in a thin sandwich bag, pull the front tight and flat, tape the excess tight on the back. You can talk on the phone without taking it out of the bag.

Weird/odd in the sense that you are watching bicycle racing at all. What kind of rating do you suppose USN gets for prime time cycling? 0.01?

That's awesome. Your boss must be a cyclist.

Amazingly he is not, but he has grown to appreciate it. He looks forward to watching the races. He knows a lot of the top contenders by name even.

Mine is heavy - stainless steel. I don't wear it on rides.

Soon he will accept our ways....

Whenever I roll fixed I get new PRs on climbs. I should run straight block on my Pinarello, having the 28T, or even the 24T on my sewups makes me wussy.

Caught a little WCBS on the way home. Heard them talking about launching a share-a-bike program this summer.

Good news for Pcad! Instead of lugging his rig to the races, he can conveniently pick one up nearby and return it afterward.

Seeing it parked on a MUP is saddening. :(

I'm glad you think that's a Rolex. It's a $200 Orvis Titanium. I wouldn't be too distraught if I destroyed that in a bike crash.

Rationalize at your own risk Fredly.
